Rocky a Neapolitan Mastiff given up by his owner.

Top 5 Reasons by Owners Give Up Their Pets:

• It is no longer fashionable
• The pet is old
• Unwilling to pay for vet fees
• Downgrading to a smaller house/apartment
• A baby is on the way

Rocky, a 10 year old Neapolitan Mastiff was given up today because he is old and smelly. Moreover his owner does not want to pay for his surgery fees to remove several lumps on his body and an aural haematoma.

Dr Jessica Kuek, a vet from Amber Veterinary Clinic attended to Rocky and did a physical examination on him and found him to be fit to undergo surgery to remove the lumps and drain the swelling in his ear flap.

Jessica will be at Noah's Ark for a week to volunteer her services for the sanctuary animals.
